Dan Marion Hurls Seven-Hit Shutout; Brooklyn Salvages Series Finale
With a 3-0 blanking of the Kansas City Packers, the Brooklyn Tip Tops gain their last ever victory during their two-year membership in the rival Federal League.
Brooklyn opens the scoring against Kansas City starter Dan Adams with a run in the second and two more in the third for a 3-0 lead.
Making his 24th start, Tip Top right-hander Dan Marion makes it stand, holding the Packers to seven hits (one for extra bases) and one walk over nine scoreless innings for the complete-game shutout victory. Only two Packer's baserunners reached third and were left stranded. The Tip Tops turn three double plays supporting Marion, who improved to 11-8 with a 3.21 ERA.
Shortstop Fred Smith connected on a two-run home run for Brooklyn. Leadoff batter and right fielder George Anderson goes 2 for 4 with a double and scored on Smith's circuit. Dan Marion helps himself with a single, a run batted in, and a run scored.

Lee Magee, relieved as manager after posting a 53-64-1 record through 118 games, was ejected in the sixth after persistently arguing over a foul ball.
Brooklyn salvages the finale at Kansas City but loses the series three games against two.
